When I was in middle school I convinced my Dad to let me buy a couple arcade machines, I bought Sky Shark and Street Smart. Sky Shark was awesome, Street Smart not so good.

The Sky Shark game was in decent condition, the cabinet had seen better days, but the buttons, joystick and monitor all worked great.

The Street Smart game was basically mint, everything on it was perfect. To bad it was the typical pre Neo-Geo SNK crap game.

Many fun times were had playing them. I had them till the end of high school when I moved.
 
I have no arcade games, and no arcade systems, and no television.

I'd buy space invaders given the chance though.
 
I have a Baby Pac-Man machine. We used to have a gas station with an arcade room and decided to take that one home when we sold it as I thought it was the rarest of what we had. For those who don't recall, Baby Pac-Man was a hybrid Pac-Man game on a CRT screen with a small pinball table on the bottom and you would switch back and forth. It's pretty cool, but I need to get the unit reconditioned.

Sure they do. I'd prolly take a good pinball machine over a arcade machine anyway. Never played monopoly, but I love Adams Family, Theater of Magic, and Twilight Zone among others
 
I used to have 2. Secret Agent by Data East and WWF Royal Rumble. But it wasn't as good as Royal Rumble on SNES.
 
I would love to get one of those table pac man or gallaga (sp) games, that way you keep your highballs from spilling.

Oh totally. My Dad and I used to play the Addams Family all the time, easily the best pinball game. Like you said in good condition they're not cheap, even a "gently used" machine is around $3900. Not like the $50 and $99 I paid for my arcade machines.
 
I really, really, really want the greatest pinball game of all time in my house, The Addams Family.
If you didn't play this pinball growing up you don't know jack.

4-Slot MVS with around 25 carts. Unfortunately, I have to sell it this fall. I just moved it into the mud-room for cleaning. So if anyone is interested in a 25" Neo Candy with a 4-slot MVS, and is willing to pick it up in Maine, let me know.
 
@blue

What are looking to get for it? Where bouts in Maine, I live on the Ma. NH. border

It's been off for two years. I only tested one slot and one game so far, and it worked just fine. Game was Last Blade. So, with that said, I plan on checking everything this weekend. Not sure what to ask for it. No clue what it goes for.

But yeah, monitor is in perfect condition. Weighs about 150 lbs if I remember correctly. Candy Cabs are sit down, and it has wheels for easy moving. Easy access to monitor as well. If you're interested, just send me a PM. I really didn't expect to get anyone that interested on this site. I'm in Biddeford, about 90 minutes from Boston.
 
I'd love an original Robotron 2084 cabinet in my play room! I probably dropped enough quarters in that thing to buy one. I got to the point I could play it till I got tired on 1 quarter and walk away with tons of lives left.

Good days.

That's impressive. I've only ever played Robotron on XBLA, but it's really hard and I'm terrible at it. My game is usually over in less than 5 mins.
 
I play so much of The Addams Family. It was awesome. To get a good one I need about $6k. :(
I just played The Adams Family pinball in August for about 3 hours. I went to the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. I highly recommend if you want to play some of the best pinball games from our past. I spent a decent amount of time with the South Park and Terminator pinball machines as well.They even have a few old arcade games. I went with my wife and she loved it more than I did.
 
Pinball machines are the only real reason I go to the arcades any more. That and the odd game of Ms. Pacman
